Bored Druid Thread: The Next GenerationFollow

Fractals, which are dungeons you can repeat again and again, with them getting harder each time in exchange for more frequent/better loot. Then there's legendaries, and WvWvW. other than that, there's not that much. I fully expect to get bored sooner or later, just hasn't happened yet.

That sounds dreadful.

Well, entertaining as long as it's a challenge but not too difficult, incredibly annoying when you get to the point where you wipe a lot.

I thought everyone was aware by now that mass PvP is always retarded because there's too many people to properly organize and so many people that you can't affect the battle much no matter how good you are.

Or: How lolgaxe sees the conversation.

And that's lovely but you still aren't going to have a significant impact on the whole thing and when you get a lot of people together without a clear hierarchy there aren't going to be any real tactics to speak of either, it's just zerg zerg zerg and pray for the best.

Everyone is still going to be using the same tactic every time though, there's no outsmarting your enemy or anything like that. Hell, even smaller battlegrounds like Arathi Basin and the space age version of that (whatever it was called with the flag and 4 towers) were impossible to coordinate or have some sort of tactic but at least if you're good you can alter the battlefield significantly by fighting in every other battle, if it's 200 vs 200 vs 200 a single person isn't going to have any sort of measurable effect.

If the outcome of the battle isn't affected by what you do the yeah that does matter to me, it takes all the fun out of it. It makes victories hollow and losses frustrating to me.

The most healers and the fewest retards and slackers.

It snowed here too but it's still above freezing so instead of pretty and white we get very cold mud everywhere.

Yeah, but WvWvW is the casual PVP content. There's still the more hardcore stuff.

It's pretty much the open world part of endgame PVE content, where you're out farming mats and doing dailies and such. Except undeniably more fun.

MoP has a LOT of dailies.

It's actually crazy.

Not necessarily true, especially since the introduction of Commanders, players with a special flag over their head who often lead in WvW. I've been in large zergs that were taken by surprise and wiped by a smaller zerg, I've been in the other end of the same situation. I've been in a zerg running around sneaking captures of nodes, I've been in small groups quietly stealing back stuff. And I've also been in the big megazerg assaulting the castle at the center of the map, which is a ton of fun in and of itself.



Not necessarily. Especially with the field system and things like reflect walls and buff spam and share builds, zerg support can have a serious impact on a zerg's success. It's obviously less true as size increases and coordination decreases, but a single person can very much make or break a zerg.

Not really, Germany is far stronger and Portugal is the clear second in that group. Most likely you'll get to fight over place 3 with Ghana. Assuming Ronaldo plays well he has the individual quality to make the difference against USA and Ghana even if the rest of Portugal is off their game. Still, the USA could have traded places with Australia and they'd be worse off for it and it's not like there are many groups where they would have a solid chance of moving on to the second round.

Spain is definitely the strongest team, the Dutch have to do well vs Chile and not fail miserably against Australia but Spain, Chile and the Netherlands all like to play the same type of football which the Netherlands like playing against a lot more than the super defensive Australia (who are pretty much doomed to end up last).
